What do you mean by 'a sport'?

The sport soccer, for example, could be taken as referring to the 
physical infrastructure - goads at either end, a rectangular playing 
field. Similar can be said of many OSM 'sports'. So I don't see that as 
being a good argument.

There are quite a few things tagged 'sport' in OSM that I don't think of 
as 'sports'. Some descriptions exclude completion only being for 
'practice'.


It may be better to consider leisure=training, 
activity=cricket,/basketball/tennis/fitness/* This would clear the 
'sport' problem. Note that training also occurs for things like fire 
fighting, I'd not consider that a leisure activity.


taginfo search .. arrr

The key 'training' exists .. and with the value 'sport' .. amongst 
others ... It requires a physical key such as amenity=training, 
amenity=trade_school.. maybe worth thinking about?
